Ctrl is a terminal tool that allows you to copy a file THEN paste it elsewhere. It reproduces the copy/pasting behavior of file explorers on the terminal.

The most common use case is to run ctrl -C (or ctrl --copy) on a file, cd to another directory or move to another terminal window, then call ctrl -V (or ctrl --paste) there :

$ mkdir a
$ echo foobar > a/file
$ ctrl -C a/file
$ mkdir b
$ cd b
$ ctrl -V
$ ls
file
$ cat file
foobar

The arguments get be listed by running ctrl -h or ctrl --help :

$ ctrl -h
Ctrl
-C       --copy Queue given file for copying
-X        --cut Queue given file for moving
-V      --paste Paste clipboard contents in current directory
-l       --list Display the pending actions
-r      --reset Empty the clipboard
-f      --force Overwrite existing files when pasting
-v --verbosity+ Verbosity level
-h       --help This help information.

As this tool is under development, further examples and details will be added down the road.
